Go ahead and do whatever you want - I took 1/3 of a Porsche 911 out of that shot already.

Erik, can you fill me in on that orange MP4-12C, is that an optional bumper kit from the factory. Makes it look even better than before!

 

That's the ultra limited edition MP4-12C HS. Originally they made 5, I believe all for one customer. The car in that photo is now apparently #8 according to someone who saw it and the window sticker in Toronto. To quote him, he said the car was basically a very well optioned 12C at around $300K and then there was an additional option for the HS package that added another (are you sitting down?) $270K to the price of the car. You do get an additional 75hp in the deal, and bragging rights one owning one of the most exclusive cars McLaren have ever made, but I think that price will keep them pretty darn exclusive.

Thanks for filling me in, Erik. I knew about the HS model but I hadn't realized that was the bumper that comes with that particular edition. $270k on top of the base MSRP...now that's just a little bit silly.

 

Did you see this thread? For 10% of that price you can get a very similar front bumper fitted to any new 12C:
